After a while, Xiang Nan went on the road alone, preparing to find King Tiedal's tent.
Chai Mu also wanted to send two Qianlong envoys to follow him, but Xiang Nan refused.
"The more people there are, the bigger the target will be. If I look for it myself, it will be less likely to attract attention." Xiang Nan waved his hand and explained, "What's more, the desert is vast. It doesn't matter if there is one more person or one less person."
Looking for King Tiedal's tent is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Finding a needle in a haystack by one person or finding a needle in a haystack with two people is actually the same difficulty.
"In that case, please take care of yourself, Fifth Prince." Chai Mu nodded.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chai, I will be careful." Xiang Nan smiled and then headed to Gongyue City, a large city in the west.
There are a total of three routes from Anhu Mansion in the Western Region to King Tiedal's tent.
One of them was deliberately detoured, taking the route through Death Valley, Glacier Lake, Linghe Icefield, Tongta Icefield... The journey was difficult and bumpy, and the journey was extremely long.
One is from Shuobo to King Tiedal's tent, which only takes a day or two; the other is from the Western Territory Anhu Mansion to King Tiedal's tent, which takes less than five days.
In the play, when Qu Xiaofeng went to King Danchi's tent, he took the first route. It can be seen from this that King Tiedal actually has a hand with his granddaughter.
Xiang Nan is going to take the first route now. When the time comes, he will let his second brother Li Chengye take this route, while he and Pei Zhao will take the third route.
…
Xiang Nan changed into the service of a merchant from the Western Regions and tried not to attract attention.
One day later, we arrived at Death Valley from Yanzhi City.
Death Valley is the only way from Yanzhi City to Gongyue City.
Xiang Nan was about to walk through the valley when suddenly there was the sound of fighting in front of him.
He quickly sneaked up and saw that Gu Jian and others were being besieged.
The people who besieged them were Shuobo's soldiers.
Xiang Nan was slightly startled when he saw it.
When he went on the road this time, Chai Mu didn't ask Gu Jian to accompany him. He had already found it strange. Now that he saw Gu Jian appearing here, he immediately understood.
Chai Mu must have seen that Xiang Nan was unwilling to use Qu Xiaofeng and was afraid that he would not be able to find King Tiedal's tent, so he sent Gu Jian alone to follow Qu Xiaofeng.
It can be seen from this that Chai Mu is also a cold-blooded and sinister person. Fortunately, Xiang Nan knew that he was foolishly loyal to the Toyo Chao and foolishly loyal to the Holy Emperor, so he still dared to use him.
Otherwise, we should stay as far away as possible to avoid falling into his trap.
Xiang Nan then roared, drew his sword from under his saddle, and rode over.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
Sword shadows are flying, sword lights are radiating, and each sword can take away a life.
When Shuo Bobing saw it, he immediately attacked Xiang Nan, greatly reducing the pressure on Gu Jian and others.
Facing the siege of Shuo Bo's soldiers, Xiang Nan was not afraid. His long sword flew in the air and he moved the sword like a finger. None of Shuo Bo's soldiers were able to defeat him. They all fell under his sword like grass and grass.
Gu Jian was slightly startled when he saw this. He didn't expect his cousin's martial arts to be so outstanding.
"Wow~" Qu Xiaofeng was even more surprised.
I used to think that Master's martial arts were the best in the world, but I didn't expect that the strongest among the strongest.
"Come on, kill them all except that woman!" Seeing that Xiang Nan and others were so good at fighting, General Shuobo on the hillside yelled at his soldiers.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Nan immediately decided to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
He jumped up more than two feet in the air, landed a little higher on the slope, and then jumped up four or five meters further.
The steep hillside seemed like flat ground to him.
After a few jumps, Xiang Nan came to General Shuobo.
When General Shuobo saw it, he immediately struck with his sword.
Xiang Nan swung his sword to hold his sword, then reached out and grabbed him.
…
"Let them stop quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." Xiang Nan placed the sword across his neck and shouted sternly.
General Shuobo was stunned. He didn't expect that he was not even the enemy of Yihe, and he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of frustration.
"Stop!" he shouted immediately.
Seeing that the general was captured, Shuo Bo's soldiers had no choice but to give up.
"Order your people to put down their weapons and exit Death Valley!" Xiang Nan ordered again.
"Put down your weapons and exit Death Valley!" General Shobo ordered.
Seeing this, Shuobo's soldiers had no choice but to put down their weapons and slowly exit Death Valley.
Seeing that they were far away, Xiang Nan floated down with the general.
Although the hillside was steep and he had brought another person with him, he was still as graceful and elegant as if he were walking on flat ground.
"It's you?!" Qu Xiaofeng was a little surprised when he saw Xiang Nan.
Although Xiang Nan was wearing the clothes of a merchant from the Western Region, she immediately recognized him as Li Chengyin, the fifth prince of the Feng Dynasty.
That day in the Xizhou King's Palace, he raised the "Blood of the Five Evils" and drank it without even blinking. His courage and magnanimity left a deep impression on her.
"Do you know each other?" Gu Jian asked in surprise. He didn't expect that Xiang Nan and Qu Xiaofeng actually knew each other.
"Miss Adu, it's you~" Xiang Nan nodded to her, then looked at Gu Jian and said, "Destroy the weapons, get on the horse, and let's go!"
Gu Jian nodded, destroyed the weapons that were inconvenient to take away, and took away all the Shuobo people's horses.
As a result, Shuobo had no weapons or horses, and it was difficult to pursue them.
…
Xiang Nan then released General Shuobo, but tapped his acupuncture points, making him unable to move for at least twelve hours.
As a result, Shuobo's soldiers had no one to direct them and would only form a chaotic mess, making it impossible to catch up with them.
"Let's go!" Xiang Nan mounted his horse and quickly left Death Valley.
In fact, because there are many gravels at the bottom of Death Valley, it is easy to hurt the hoofs of horses. Therefore, when passing here, pedestrians must dismount to avoid hurting the horses.
But now the situation is urgent, and they have captured a large number of Shuobo war horses, so they are not so stingy.
After leaving Death Valley, everyone changed their horses and ran for more than fifty miles before finally heaving a sigh of relief.
"Fifth Prince, thank you very much." Qu Xiaofeng cupped his hands and smiled, "By the way, why are you here? Are you still dressed like this?"
"Oh, I heard that there are a lot of gems in Gongyue City, so I want to go there and buy some, so that I can give them to others in the future." Xiang Nan explained, "Miss Adu, why are you here, and why are you still being besieged?"
"Um...that..." Qu Xiaofeng is not good at lying, and just when he didn't know how to respond, Gu Jian interrupted, "We are going home to visit relatives, and the people who besieged us are sand bandits who want to rob us to see how much goods we have. .”
Although he didn't know what happened between Xiang Nan and Qu Xiaofeng, but with his intelligence, he decided to make mistakes and not expose Qu Xiaofeng's identity.
"So that's it." Xiang Nan nodded, "Then let's leave quickly, lest they catch up."
Seeing that Xiang Nan didn't ask further questions, Qu Xiaofeng couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little sorry for him.
After all, someone just saved me, but I still have to lie to others, which is really inappropriate.
Everyone immediately came to Gongyue City and found an inn to stay.
